Two things can be true. It could be wrong to describe developing countries, especially if they are black lead as ”shitholes”, AND the Haitians, who left there and came here probably don’t want to go back for very good reasons

Breast-feeding attitudes and openness to bottlefeeding would be a strong moderator. Many high maternal ed households have quite egalitarian division in other realms, but breast-feeding confounds.

Yesterday, Pennsylvania Governor @joshshapiropa.bsky.social signed their state's budget into law.

That leaves North Carolina as the only state in the entire nation without an operating budget.

Our Republican legislature, unable to decide amongst themselves, just quit and went home.

You’re think *you’re* depressed? Try being at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association right now with 5,000 political scientists presenting their work on the state of democracy, public opinion, and media.

They are also drinking heavily.

Are all faculty everywhere still PDFing every acceptance letter and email, or has someone invented a better way to do this tenure dossier thing yet? thinking being able to forward emails to PDF@mydossier.com and get a nicely zipped set of folders +attachments sounds like a great biz idea.
